Ingredients

– 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
– ¼ cup sour cream
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder

– 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Creating Jalapeño Popper Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas is simple when following these clear steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Prepare tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds, or until warm and pliable.
4. Assemble enchiladas: Take each tortilla and spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. Repeat: Continue to fill and roll the remaining tortillas until the baking dish is full.
6. Add enchilada sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas, ensuring they’re fully covered.
7. Top with cheese: Sprinkle additional shredded cheese over the enchiladas if desired.
8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Garnish: Once removed from the oven, allow the enchiladas to cool slightly, then garnish with fresh cilantro if using.

These simple steps will guide you to create a mouthwatering dish that will leave everyone asking for the recipe!
